This magnificent project created at Harvard allows you to take a virtual tour of the Great Pyramid of Giza. (It works on the desktop site only.)

I spent a good few seconds wondering how the fuck they lit that place before the lightbulb was invented bc I’d forgotten fire was a thing ?
JustAnotherCynicToo
Imagine how much grain you could store in that thing!

The new MYST game is looking very realistic.

I was feeling more Myst

There better not be a sliding block puzzle in there...
BrainTaffy
Huh...I didn't know I had high-speed claustrophobia until just now.
QuietGiant
I can't wait until we can walk through places like this in VR. We have the technology now.
CatsOrExcited
I’d love to see a forest. Who would be first - drone to 3D forest walk-around? Or a 3D fake forest rendered so well it looks real?
Takuun
I remember someone recreating a Hiking trail in VRChat, It looked way too good.
duktayp
Was that a Starbucks?
PineappleLoopsBroether
Right across the street is a Starbucks/golf course/Giza Hut combo

I don't see an "s" on the end, do you?
PrfctDrk
I wish there was one of these for other cool spots like Petra and stuff
Smiley120
Wow. I'm really impressed at how accurate assassin's creed was then. Really cool
kidsister1982
I've been in there! Went as a study abroad course for 12 days in college. Coolest thing I'll probably ever do.
kojenk
so does the curse travel through this or no?
oepix9000
So they can map a pyramide. But my town is too small for Google Streetview?
OdeToBouncer
B-but where are the crates that need to be pushed in the right order to gain further access?
NuclearGradeIrony
That's my day gone.
hergurh
this the burial chamber of Ramses VI over 1000 years later. rough stonework, beautiful art on everything
hergurh
the King's Chamber is totally unadorned with smooth, stunningly precise stonework despite being much more ancient. there's nothing like it
Tanhis
But it does not capture the sticky dirty walls, the smell and amount of people and hustlers. I have visited but would not go again.
iamdanman
BRB going to play AC Origins
SuicidalThrillbillyturnedLunaticChillbilly
How does that game compare to AC Odyssey?
iamdanman
All these new ones are great, I’m currently on Valhalla. You really can’t compare them.
Rezol
Watching this I realised just how accurate they had made it in the game. With some additions or course.
ionicseraph
No no, that ancient/future tech with the weird voices was spot on
StewedTomaters
When Notre Dame burned, I think they used scans that AC had taken of it to help put shit back together in the right spot. Or something.
Rezol
Yes they did, Ubisoft had probably the most detailed 3D recreation of it.
isthisjunkmail
Neat!
JohnMike64
It would be great if they did this with all places that aren't suitable for tourist visits
awkwarddoubleletters
Something about this tomb makes me feel like it wasn't meant for my eyes to see..
LiberalViking
It wasn't.
boston460
While I loved actually being inside the pyramids, the convenience of this (and zero cost) means I can now share the experience with my kids.
astrangehop
They're not going to get cursed though
NickRivieraMD
how did you come across such an opportunity?

Hand money over to the right person on the day and you can get anywhere in Egypt.

ah, bakshish. Read about it, never had the balls.
durandal2
new Myst game looks nice
McFrazzlestache
Wowwwwwwwza. This is fuckin' rad AF!
TodayIsSlapANaziDay
Boring. Where are all the treasures and undead? All the snake pits? And all the impossible trap mechanisms?
JericoJones23
And the mummies walking around. Very disappointed.
Fyreworx
Imagine how nice it would have looked before everything thing in it was plundered.
welluhwhatdoyouwantmetosay
Tunneled into 1200 years ago, and everything of value carted off.
keenidiot
Really probably looted well before then.

Like twitter?
ohdearohdearohdeer
The Great Pyramid is thought to have been empty and bare inside. There is no evidence it was a tomb. Some think it was a power station.

Which is exactly why we can't tell whether or not it was a joke.
Captainawesomething
It’s obvious it is a joke, it reflects more on the people that don’t get it than the joker himself.
Algebraicrhombus
No, there are people who believe the bedrock limestone reacts with the ground water and turns pyramids into batteries. Not a joke lol.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
If this is a joke, I don't get it.
verukt89
Yeah they found evidence of an explosion or something didn't they?
eggmuffin
"They" who?

My ass is a better power station. Away with your nonsense
eggmuffin
Some people believe in ghosts. Some people are stupid and/or deluded.
ProfessorDumbass
Fucking claustrophobia thoughts thinking about being in a rock tomb
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
Same. I just realized this would take my mild claustrophobia to about the size of Jupiter and I would have to be DEALT WITH.
ProfessorDumbass
I didn't know I even had mild claustrophobia until I went into one of those tourist mines. Thirty foot of dirt above me was 30 too much
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
What happened? Did you have to go back out?
ProfessorDumbass
The place had a dozen kids already so I might not have the skills to man up...but a few deep breaths and I kidded up. But was nervous af
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
Good on you, kudos on the newfound courage.
Girlie1337
I think about cave divers often like the guy who wedged himself into a space, got caught, and couldn't back out so suffocated. Fear is good
teapartyyy
Ivebeen inside a pyramid. It is surreal how you lose the sense of what is up or down in the tunnels. Very claustrophobic.
smutfiend
Yup. While I'm likely to never have a chance to leave the country, this is something I don't even need to consider anymore.
ChuckTingleBattlesTheAssGoblinsofAuschwitz
Dont read Hyperion Cantos
tslehmosdav
Went there 2012 really excited. Went inside for 20 meters and went out again withe the lovely gift of claustrophobia.
Notedbutignored
Now consider the ancient Egyptians going in there with only handheld torches
SyntheticReindeer
Could be worse, atleast it's not Kanye's hiphop tomb.
ItsTooHotInHere
I’ve been inside. Even worse because you have people going in and people going out, right and cramped until the big sarcophagus chamber.
TheGreatBlueHeron
Don't ever go caving.
ebonyfaery
What a redundant thing to say lmao. Ofc they won't be going caving.
epithymetic
Or cave diving. Even videos of that give me the creeps

Don't watch the movie Sanctum.

oh no, the feeling is very much being knee deep in a self proclaimed God's tomb. i actually have an extremely weird story about this

Storytime?

**Just a quick FYI for anyone (else, besides me) who is prone to asking too many questions at storytime. ?

azarza
